Star Richmond key forward Jack Riewoldt achieved another milestone in his stellar 2018 season, aside from All Australian selection, the Coleman Medal and the Jack Dyer Medal.

Riewoldt became AFL football’s games’ record-holder for the No. 8 guernsey.

He has now played 249 games wearing the No. 8 for the Tigers, since making his senior league debut in Round 9 of the 2007 season.

The player who previously had played the most games throughout AFL/VFL history in the No. 8 guernsey was Daniel Wells, with 243, when he was at North Melbourne.
